2026-09-11 14:18 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
Tweak to last patch - previous fix made it too unlikely for the AI to execute a withdrawal when in a bad combat situation.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

AI Bug Fix 9/11/2026
2026-09-11 04:51 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This patch fixes a bug in the recently updated AI that caused it to attempt to withdraw from combat even when not in the ZOC of an enemy unit, as in when on the opposite side of a river without a bridge.
September 8, 2026 patch - AI improvements and minor bug fixes
2026-09-08 14:53 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This patch should improve the AI, particularly for the Coalition in the short scenario.

March 2026 Patch
2026-03-26 00:23 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This patch fixes a bug in the Concentrate the Army stage of the longer campaign in which the Road Congestion roll could interfere with the correct handling of the Coalition's remaining moves. This patch also reduces the max zoom on the map to avoid getting down to a very pixellated image.
Blown units return patch for AI
2025-06-02 15:19 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This small patch fixes an issue where the AI would return blown units across the river into positions that would effectively remove them from the game because there'd be no path back to the main fight. This patch instructs the AI to avoid hexes that would isolate returned units, unless there is no other choice.
Long scenario fixes
2025-05-27 01:30 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
Fixes an issue where the AI could get stuck in a loop trying to bring units on during Road Congestion, and improves the Coalition AI's ability to place detachments to block the French path
Fix for Road Congestion bug in long scenario
2025-05-06 14:45 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton

Bug fixes for AI with road congestion and order of entry for reinforcements
2025-05-05 00:09 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This patch fixes an AI bug that could cause the AI to freeze in the long scenario when road congestion is in effect and another bug in the long scenario that did not enforce bringing reinforcements onto the map in sequence as dictated by the printed rules.
Fix for last chance moves calculation bug
2025-04-07 03:24 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This patch fixes an issue wherein detachments were counted as units when determining the number of moves after a player passes. Per Mark Herman, only Corps units should be counted when performing this calculation.
Fix for withdrawal bug
2025-03-17 04:07 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This patch fixes an issue wherein the game prevented a unit from withdrawing into a hex with a friendly detachment, even though there is no division in the hex.
Bug fix for cavalry battle stars in defense
2025-03-10 14:04 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This update fixes a bug wherein an exhausted cavalry unit was incorrectly being awarded its battle stars when defending.
Terminology correction in tutorial
2025-03-08 01:54 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
Changed references from "English" units to "British"
Fix for formatting bug
2025-03-05 15:39 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
This fixes a formatting bug introduced in the last update that caused the glossary text to be outlined and difficult to read.
User Interface Improvements
2025-03-01 20:14 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
Added a button to toggle the visibility of units to make the map easier to see. Corrected missing unit Corps numbers and the spelling of Thielmann. Added a button to do a "Pass Analysis" to show you how many units each side has not in a ZoC/ZoI, or waiting to enter the map as reinforcements. Added a "Detachments Available" button to enable the player to see what detachments they have available at any time, rather than having to wait until the detachment placement phase.
Bug fix and strategy improvement for Coalition
2025-02-15 21:25 UTC · Community Announcements · btipton
Fixed a bug that might occur when withdrawing the full 3 times after the opponent has passed, or when retreating from a detachment. Also improved the Short Scenario Coalition AI to better get Wellington's troops to engage the enemy.
